Kansas

Somewhere in Kansas, there’s a 11-year-old boy smiling because he convinced City Hall to legalize the hedgehog in his city. According to KTKA News, the boy is a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan, and he wanted one of those spiky creatures for himself.

It’s more interesting than getting a dog, I suppose. I lived in Missouri and I owned a hedgehog once. My college roommate and I named it Crack Whore. It did not move fast. It did not save me from the evil Dr. Robotnik. Instead, it kind of slept in its woodchips and crapped wherever it pleased. It also hurt to pick up with your bare hands.
